Just curious to see whern you'll want to play that event?

I don'T think this card is design for solo play

I could see some use for this for Journey Down the Anduin, during the second stage. Might be useful for getting around enemies with optional engagement restrictions (e.g. Goblin Sniper (Core), Goblin Scout (KD)), too. Don't know how useful it would be overall, but I think it's a nice card to have around.
Umm play this and combo with either sneak attack (Farmer Maggot) or Hobbit Sense?
Maybe this plus Thicket of Spears (Core)?
This + Tactics Boromir = Discard him'n'deal 2 damage, bring him back with Fortune and dicsard him again, bring him back with dis Eagle ally. And discard him again for MASS DESTRUCTION. Then, exhaust ranged character to unleash the RAIN OF ARROWS on the remaining standing enemy forces. And discard Bee Keeper to show you could damage even staging area if there were anyone left.
This, plus recurring Thicket of Spears (Core) with Hama (TLD) = Total ownage. Your partners will be very happy people.
A good use on multiplayer too: Player 1 defends every enemy with
Hobbit-sense (EaAD) or
Out of Sight (TLD), then Player 2 attacks everyone with
The Hammer-stroke (TBoG)
